Over the last five years there has been a renaissance in serious job simulator games. On the frozen roads of northern Alaska, there is no room for shoddy planning. Before each trip you have to select exactly the right vehicle for the job, fit the correct tyres and work out your likely fuel consumption to the nearest millilitre. I am playing Snowrunner, the latest in a series of painstakingly authentic offroad delivery simulator games in which players have to haul goods through a variety of unforgiving landscapes at speeds that would shame a garden snail.
This load of timber is not going to deliver itself. I will have to abandon the vehicle, fit up another and try again. I’ve tried to attach a winch to a nearby tree to pull myself out, but it’s not working. The rear axle of my pick-up truck is wedged on a boulder protruding from the mud in the middle of a deserted backwater road in Michigan.
